So I could tell you about the growing anxiety about a 40-day-long trucker’s strike which is now threatening food supplies to the city or the wonderful new system in the main bank I go to.

I think I’ll go with the good news.

Instead of a tedious 30 or 40 minute wait, standing in a queue, you now get a number, depending on what it is you need to do in the bank, you sit on a comfortable seat and are served wtihin a few minutes. It’s great!

I’m sorry if you came to this blog yesterday looking for a response to Brexit that was a bit more profound than my glee that I can now buy Cadbury’s chocolate in Medellín.

Now that I’ve had a week to process the shock, the best I can come up with, and it’s a lot, maybe everything, is that I am a citizen of a different kingdom and all the political folly in the world cannot take that away from me.
